HHMI researchers suggest that defective cell transport may play a role in Alzheimer’s disease. Over the last few years, scientists have been successful in identifying genes implicated in Alzheimer’s ...

In pure water, the cell contents (the cytoplasm and vacuole) push against the cell wall and the cell becomes turgid . Fully turgid cells support the stems of non-woody plants. In a very ...

Just as cities must carefully manage the flow of cars in and out of downtown, cells regulate the movement of molecules into ...

The circulatory system transports substances between the exchange surface and cells. It delivers oxygen and glucose to the tissues for respiration, which is the release of energy to cells.

The targeting of transport vesicles to the correct membrane ... based cytoskeletons to bring a vesicle from one part of the cell to another. Then tethering proteins collect and restrain vesicles ...
